Brief Summary:
A controlled randomized study will be conducted to assess the effectiveness of the educational program before and after its implementation An invitation to participate will be extended to physiotherapists interested in the training program More than 64 physiotherapists will be randomly assigned to two equal groups All participants will sign an informed consent form before the commencement of the study and will be informed about the studys content duration and their right to withdraw at any time A structured educational program consisting of two parts will be developed encompassing three core modules Part A on the management of chronic pain and three core modules Part B on communication skills and techniques The modules in Part A of the educational program will focus on elucidating the neurophysiological mechanisms of pain performing differential assessments based on chronic musculoskeletal pain phenotypes and addressing and managing the factors contributing to patients pain experiences and rehabilitation with a particular emphasis on pain neuroscience education The modules in Part B of the educational program will concentrate on the development of communication skills essential for effective interaction between patients and physiotherapists The first group will complete all modules of the educational program while the second group control group will only participate in the Part A education modules The effectiveness of the program will be evaluated before and after its implementation by two independent examiners through the administration of an Objective Structured Clinical Examination OSCE and the use of reliable and valid questionnaires and scales
